England v Japan

England v Japan is not a fixture you will regularly see on the international schedule, in fact the last time the countries met was in the inaugural Rugby World Cup of 1987!

However, Japan will host the 2019 RWC and having beaten South Africa in 2015’s tournament, have improved dramatically. Full of passion and intensity not to mention exemplary physical fitness, the ‘Cherry Blossoms’ are an emerging force in world rugby who come to Twickenham with nothing to lose.
